Rhea AI WTER FY2023

Revenue growth has not made the business self-funding: cost growth weakened gross economics, while liabilities exceed assets.

FY2023 revenue grew 16.4%, but gross margin recovered only 1.1 percentage points from FY2022, so added sales did not restore the earlier margin structure. Operating cash flow remained a cash outflow of $10.4M after $31.8M in FY2022, showing improvement without internally funded operations.

The cost structure is the central operating problem: across FY2021-FY2023, revenue increased 38.4% while cost of revenue increased 76.0%. Gross profit nevertheless fell 29.2%, meaning expansion added sales without preserving gross dollars.

FY2023 liabilities reached $23.4M versus assets of $18.0M, creating a balance-sheet deficit rather than an equity cushion. Equity was -$5.3M and the current ratio was 0.7x; financing provided $11.4M while operations used $10.4M, indicating that external funding supplied cash operations did not generate.

Financial Health Signals

Financial health score not available

ALKALINE WATER CO does not currently provide enough eligible data for a peer-relative financial health score, so none is published. The signals and metrics below are current.

Altman Z-Score Distress
-11.60

ALKALINE WATER CO scores -11.60, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is pulled down most by an accumulated deficit of $137.1M against total assets of $18.0M. This indicates elevated financial distress risk and warrants close attention to liquidity and debt levels.

Distress-screening estimate for non-financial companies. Not computed for banks or insurers, where the Altman model does not apply.

Piotroski F-Score Partial
4/7

ALKALINE WATER CO passes 4 of 7 computable financial strength tests (2 of the nine could not be computed from available data). 2 of 4 profitability signals pass, no leverage/liquidity signals pass (rising debt, declining liquidity, or share dilution), both operating efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality No Cash Backing
N/A

ALKALINE WATER CO reported a net loss of $27.4M while operations used $10.4M of cash. With neither figure positive, the ratio between the two carries no quality signal.

Interest Coverage At Risk
N/A

ALKALINE WATER CO reported an operating loss of $22.0M against $3.0M in interest expense. There is no operating profit to cover interest, so interest must be met from cash reserves or from financing rather than from operations.

Note: Shareholder equity is negative (-$5.3M), which causes the debt-to-equity, liabilities-to-equity and return on equity ratios to appear negative or not meaningful. This can occur from accumulated losses or large share buyback programs.

Note: The current ratio is below 1.0 (0.68), indicating current liabilities exceed current assets, which may suggest potential short-term liquidity concerns.
